could it be the timing belt or serpentine belt? can I replace this myself or should I have a professional do it?
sometimes it's hard to start the car, it may take a few tries but it does start.
sometimes I'll be driving just fine, then it sounds like it's having trouble and it's going to die on me but then it straightens itself out and its fine again. I just don't want to be on the highway with my toddler and my car die in the middle of 70W.

Has it been a while since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Some of the national brand autostores used to check codes for free. Usually the first thing I do is, use a gage and check fuel pressure.
